Chapter 169

"Bronya, why are you worried about this? It's normal for someone your age to be like this. As long as you eat well, exercise and rest properly, you'll be fine when you grow up."

"Let's start dealing with my little sister's problems," Mei said softly, looking into Bronya's eyes. The girl had always had a fondness for taking care of others, and Mei. Bronya she didn't have much experience, as a qualified older sister, she should be able to handle it without any problems.

"But Shen Gonglin doesn't seem to like it at all. He didn't react at all when he saw it, so I thought he might like it when he's a little older. He doesn't have to be very old, like Mei would be fine."

Girl, is it polite of you to say something like that? Let me tell you, you'll have no friends if you keep doing that.

Bronya said these words very seriously, and Mei was so stunned that she didn't react for a long time. What did she mean by "it doesn't have to be big, just like me"? Mei's figure was already considered perfect among her peers. Did Bronya have no self-awareness at all? How dare she, a mere fried egg, diss her big cake? Really, Mei didn't know what to say to her.

"I don't know about this kind of problem either. After all, I don't have this kind of trouble. I've just been growing up healthily, and then one day I suddenly found that my figure had become like this. Sigh, Bronya, you don't need to be envious. Actually, I sometimes envy those girls with average figures. At least they don't get tired after walking for a long time, while my shoulders sometimes ache."

Provoked by Bronya Mei also switched to her cunning mode. Entering Versailles mode, she began to fight back. This little girl really has no self-awareness. How dare she criticize my figure? It's a wonder she even grew to be half as big as me.

"... Mei- neechan, Bronya suddenly doesn't want to talk to you anymore."

The emotionless loli turned her head away and looked to the side. This confidante was probably fake. Not only did she not comfort her, but she also provoked her like this. Had she chosen the wrong person? Maybe she should go and talk to the headmaster about this issue.

"... Wasn't it you who brought this up first? Also, you said that Shen Gonglin has no reaction to your figure at all, what do you mean by that?"

Mei realized that she had indeed been a bit arrogant just now. After all, she was still a kind girl. Her earlier temper vanished instantly. Another piece of information that Bronya had mentioned caught her attention. She had seen it but hadn't reacted at all. What did Shen Gonglin see? And what did she mean by not reacting at all?

"One night, Mei and Kiana went out shopping. After Bronya finished her training, she went back to the dormitory to take a shower. While she was showering, Shen Gonglin barged in. When he saw Bronya, he didn't react at all. Bronya was very upset."

Recalling what happened that day, a blush seemed to appear on Bronya's expressionless face. Although the biochip was burned, some things that had been controlled by the chip seemed to be slowly reviving. That situation was really embarrassing.

"... You've never told me about this, but it's really a very sad thing... Did he really not react at all? Did he not say anything?"

So this was actually what happened between them! Mei was furious. If something like this had happened with Bronya, then it was even more unpredictable with others— Kiana, the Class President, and Teacher Himeko ... Mei felt like she should go out and buy a hat to wear, and from now on, she should just call her Green Robe instead of Mei. But then she remembered that Bronya hadn't reacted at all to Mei Shen Gonglin, which made Mei a little happy. It seemed that this guy did have some standards; someone like Bronya really didn't need any reaction.

"Shen Gonglin did say something at the time... He looked at Bronya and said, '2A-level scenic spot.'"

Bronya's face was calm. She hadn't understood the meaning of those words back then, but now, she seemed to understand them a little bit.

"A 2A-level scenic area? What does that mean?"

Mei was equally confused. What did this mean? What 2A-level scenic spot? She sometimes couldn't understand what Shen Gonglin was saying, but the girl instinctively felt that this probably wasn't a nice thing.

"Bronya didn't understand either, and then he added, saying that if she got together with the class president and the Class President, it would become a 6A-level scenic spot... Mei, Bronya thinks we don't need to care about whether Shen Gonglin lives or dies. Someone like Shen Gonglin, it would be a good thing for the world if she died."

Belatedly realizing this, Bronya connected the characteristics of herself, the Class President, and Theresa, and her face immediately darkened. So that's what Shen Gonglin meant! She instantly didn't want to save him anymore. This kind of person should just fend for himself. She was such an idiot for liking him before, and she's still an idiot now!

"A 6A-level scenic area... Hahaha, a 6A-level scenic area, so that's what Shen Gonglin meant! Bronya, you plus the Class President and the headmistress... Yeah, how come I didn't think of that? Hahahaha, Shen Gonglin... Shen Gonglin is so funny, Bronya... No, don't be too sad..."

Once she understood what those words meant, Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had been feeling quite depressed lately, and hearing something so funny made her unable to hold back. The girl covered Mei mouth and let out bursts of laughter. This was too funny! Shen Gonglin was right, it really was a 6A-level scenic spot.

"Mei- neechan, Bronya doesn't want to talk to you right now."

The emotionless girl calmly took out her phone as she watched the girl clutching her stomach and laughing uncontrollably. The mocked girl opened the camera mode and took a picture of Mei laughing so hard that bubbles were coming out of her nose. She would show it to Shen Gonglin he came back, and let him laugh his mother away!

Chapter Fourteen: CP Fans Unfollowing

The Schicksal Headquarters, on the huge artificial island, is not only home to scientific research facilities. As the headquarters for the Valkyrie, a regular living area is also essential. When there are no missions, this is where the Valkyrie live and rest, just like an ordinary small town, complete with residential areas and commercial streets. In this peaceful and quiet living area, a maid is quietly sweeping the courtyard. Beneath her light golden short hair are a pair of rose-colored eyes. Rita Roseweisse has been waiting here for quite some time.

Calling it "waiting for orders" is less accurate than calling it a form of Schicksal Headquarters. After all, Rita had previously acted against the wishes of Schicksal headquarters, so this kind of punishment wasn't unacceptable to her. Logically, after such an attack on Schicksal, every Valkyrie should have done their best to restore the headquarters' operations. However, Rita, as S-rank Valkyrie, was required to stay in the living quarters. This decision surprised many Valkyrie, and a certain sentiment began to circulate within the headquarters.

As one of the four S-class combatants, Miss Rita does seem to have indeed disobeyed the bishop's wishes in the previous battle.

"Vice-Captain, why does the bishop want you to stay here? And he even said that you can't go out without orders. The captain is now in charge of the entire headquarters' operation, and that's exactly when we need your help. Why is he restricting your movements?"

In the courtyard, Alvit had come over while slacking off, lay on the table, indignantly defending her vice-captain. The bishop was such an idiot, leaving someone as capable and useful as the vice-captain idle and making her clean up here. Had someone broken his brain?

"Alvit, a maid's essential job is cleaning, and obeying orders is also a maid's duty."

Holding the large broom, Rita swept all the fallen leaves in the courtyard into a pile. Looking at her subordinate who was slumped over the table, feeling wronged, she smiled and said these words. This way of dealing with the situation was within her expectations. After all, he had stood against Schicksal at a critical moment. Although he had not taken any actual rebellious action, it was already outrageous enough.

"Hehe, Vice-Captain, even though you say that, you didn't obey the Bishop's orders, did you? Our Immortal Blade has spread far and wide. For love, we resolutely wielded the Blade of Rebellion against the Captain and the Bishop. Vice-Captain, you're so cool! I'll always support you and Shen Gonglin as a couple. When you get married, I want to sit at the kids' table."

A mischievous smile played on Alvit's face, and her tone suddenly became quite meaningful. The other Valkyrie might not know the specific reasons, but the Immortal Blade intelligence team knew them perfectly well. For these young women, apart from fighting the Honkai, only things like this could arouse their curiosity. After seeing Rita stand Shen Gonglin's side without hesitation, Alvit decided that she was going to ship this couple wholeheartedly.

Who wouldn't ship this couple? The capricious master and the maid who will always stand by his side—they have such great chemistry!

"At the children's table... Alvit, flirting with me comes at a price. And if I remember correctly, you used to serialize fanfiction about Lady Durandal and Shen Gonglin on the Valkyrie forum, right? Weren't you supposed to be the number one CP fan of Shen Gonglin and Durandal? Why have you changed your tune now?"

Stopping what she was doing, the perfect maid blushed slightly. Even she couldn't ignore the topic of marriage; it was too early for such things. Besides, she was also curious why Alvit had changed so quickly. She said, "As expected of a woman, she's so fickle." It was precisely because she was serializing a fanfiction about Durandal and Shen Gonglin that her ID on the forum hadn't been banned yet, since Durandal was one of the administrators. But now, if she wanted to switch to a different pairing...

I'm afraid this kid's account won't be long before it gets banned.

"Even a fool would know they have no chance now. It was very likely before, but now that this has happened, let's not talk about Captain Shen Gonglin as I do, she's very petty. In that situation, it would have been fine for Lady Durandal to remain neutral, since Shen Gonglin wouldn't have asked her to go against her principles. But the key is that she not only didn't help, but she also stood against Shen Gonglin. Now there's absolutely no chance."

Alvit waved her hand, the girl completely unaware of the figure that had quietly appeared under the eaves. Even Rita didn't notice. The maid looked at Alvit curiously; she seemed to know a lot about this kind of thing. Since she had nothing else to do, Rita didn't mind listening to her rambling for a while.

"Before Shen Gonglin and the captain had a lot of affection for each other, and the atmosphere between them was great. But Shen Gonglin is the kind of person who's petty and stubborn. Don't try to persuade Shen Gonglin with things like 'it's for your own good' or 'choosing a different path'. All she needs is for you to always stand by her side. You did a great job with that, Vice-Captain. I saw the recording, and that should have earned you a lot of points with Shen Gonglin. As for the captain..."

As she talked, she got more and more excited. Alvit leaned on the table like a love guru. This was the conclusion drawn by her group of best friends from the Immortal Blade group. Although they were just a group of young girls who had never been in love, their consensus was strong, and their conclusion was quite credible.

"I don't know if you noticed, Vice Captain, but when you saw the Captain choose to stand against him, Shen Gonglin's attitude immediately calmed down. Everyone knows the relationship between Fu Hua and Shen Gonglin, and the Captain actually made such a choice at this time. To be honest, if it were me, I would probably smash my keyboard. Shen Gonglin's attitude at that time was also very interesting. If he was angry or something, it would be easy to deal with. As long as the Captain is willing to put aside his pride and meow at him and apologize, he might be able to coax him. But he didn't have any emotional fluctuation at all, which is very scary."

Completely transformed into a love guru, Alvit waved her arms like a head of state giving a speech, while Rita's eyes widened in surprise. What this girl said actually made a lot of sense. She had really underestimated her. She had thought that Aylvit was useless except for intelligence work, but now it seemed that she had some other uses.

Chapter Fifteen: Persecuting Teammates

As she spoke, Alvit became more and more enthusiastic, placing one foot on the table as if she were pointing out the world. Rita didn't correct her, telling her not to dirty the table she had just wiped. The maid watched her subordinate with interest; quite interesting, indeed, her way of speaking was quite interesting.

"Vice Captain, you know, someone like Shen Gonglin, with her bratty personality, is easy to coax when things are going well. A kiss, a hug, or lifting her up high will make her laugh, and as long as you're willing to suffer a loss and show her your shy side, she'll forgive you from the bottom of her heart. The worst thing is when she completely calms down and abandons the relationship with you. I've been observing her for a long time. Although everyone says Shen Gonglin is very willful, she's only willful with people she's close to. If it's a stranger, her manners and politeness are absolutely perfect. So I guess she must have come from a very wealthy family. She's probably one of those aristocratic young masters or something."

Alvit bit her finger and drew her own conclusion. Don't underestimate a sentimental girl who has been watching for years. In her opinion, the captain is probably really doomed this time. Before, Shen Gonglin trusted her a lot, but when she needed trust the most, she betrayed Shen Gonglin. As everyone knows, Shen Gonglin is an incurable petty person. So, Alvit is not optimistic about this couple now.

"I must say, Alvit, what you said makes a lot of sense this time... Durandal really hurt Lady Rin's feelings this time. Alvit, what do you think I should do now?"

Rita hadn't discovered her subordinate's special talent before, but now that she'd finally found another one besides intelligence work, she felt she had to let her subordinate make the most of it. Otherwise, what if she got distracted and made mistakes during intelligence work? She needed to let her vent some of her excess energy.

"Just like you always are, Vice-Captain. You're absolutely ruthless in this area. Last time when Shen Gonglin pinched your cheek, I almost screamed. It was so alluring and adorable. Vice-Captain, you don't need to do anything else. Just keep being yourself. You don't know how lethal your maid identity is. Compared to you, everyone else is just a piece of trash... shrimp. Captain, you're here. The Vice-Captain and I were discussing whether to have shrimp tonight. How does it feel?"

Alvit had decided to switch her ship, was full of energy. However, as she waved her arms, she saw a blonde beauty walking out from around the corner. Beads of sweat instantly streamed down Alvit's forehead. Why would the captain come over at this time? She shouldn't have heard what she said earlier, right? She definitely hadn't. If she had heard, Alvit felt that she was probably doomed again.

"Thank you, but no need. Rita, come with me. I have a mission for you. And you, Alvit, go back to your posts. At this stage, intelligence work is the top priority. The headquarters' intelligence department needs manpower right now. All the intelligence personnel in the on-duty teams have been temporarily seconded to headquarters. You too, go report for duty."

With a normal expression as if nothing had happened, Alvit breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Durandal's attitude. "That's good, that's good." The girl stood up, saluted her two superiors, the captain and vice-captain, and then turned and ran away. "It seems you really can't talk about people behind their backs. It's so weird. Luckily, the captain didn't hear it."

"Durandal, are there any orders? But I'm sure you haven't forgotten that, according to the bishop's orders, I'm still under house arrest."

Watching Alvit leave, Rita looked at Durandal and said, "Because of her previous 'rebellious' behavior, Rita has been under house arrest for some time. She cannot leave the Valkyrie living area and has not been assigned any work. During the busiest time of the entire Schicksal, she is the most idle person here."

"Your ban has been lifted. Keeping you in this state when we need manpower the most is the biggest waste. Rita, come with me. There's a ton of work that needs your help with: personnel relocation for the Immortal Blade, searching for the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void, and verifying the authenticity of various intelligence. Rita, you need to get busy."

Why should Rita get a proper vacation while she's working herself to the bone? During this time, Schicksal has been managed by Durandal alone. Even Durandal sometimes gets a headache managing such a huge organization, so there's no reason to let this maid continue to slack off. As her capable assistant, she has to keep busy too.

Otherwise, Durandal would feel resentful!

"Yes, as you command... But may I ask, what's the deal with the personnel transfer order for the Immortal Blade? I'm not entirely clear on this."

Rita bowed respectfully, but she didn't quite understand what Durandal was talking about. The personnel changes of the Immortal Blade? As the strongest Valkyrie squad of Schicksal, the Immortal Blade's personnel were basically fixed. How could there be any random personnel changes? Rita really didn't know the answer to this.

"It's Alvit. The organization has seen another quality in her besides intelligence work. Siberia is cold, and while we are fighting the Honkai, we also need to restore the economy there as soon as possible. Growing crops is a good choice. I believe Alvit can definitely shine there. I want to eat potatoes that she grows herself next year."

Durandal remained calm, but Rita could sense the sinister intentions of the strongest Valkyrie. She must have overheard something, which was why she was persecuting Alvit. What a pitiful, unlucky girl. Every time she said something like that, Durandal would hear her. It seemed that she was serious this time. Rita should mourn for her in advance.

Hopefully, the plot of land assigned to Alvit isn't some saline-alkali land, otherwise, that girl's life will probably really be over there. Just imagine, gathering intelligence and fighting Honkai Beast during the day, and then coming back in the afternoon to plant potatoes...

After a long day, Master Alvit wearily pushed open the door. Seeing the potato seedlings she had carefully nurtured growing strong, she smiled with satisfaction. Then, the entire land was left in ruins by the Honkai Beast's attack. Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it made Rita feel a pang of sorrow. It must have been so hard for her.

Chapter Sixteen Sitting in someone's lap

"Yes, I understand. But what about the whereabouts of the Herrscher of the Void, and the authenticity of the information? What's the reason for this?"

After silently mourning for her poor subordinates, Rita focused her attention on the important matter at hand. She believed that Durandal's purpose in coming here was for this very thing, and that Alvit's trip to Siberia was probably just a side trip. Because of her house arrest, Rita had also lost all information about the outside world. Several weeks had passed since the Herrscher of the Void incident, so had she obtained relevant information now?

"After the Herrscher of the Void disappeared, Theresa and Anti-Entropy also couldn't find her. Now, according to intelligence, Shen Gonglin is acting with her, but their whereabouts are unknown. All sorts of intelligence have been gathered at headquarters, but a large part of this intelligence is false or invalid. However, one source of intelligence has always maintained accuracy. This source of intelligence is the information broker in Sky City, Gray Serpent."

Leading Rita towards the command center, they saw Schicksal's maintenance personnel busily working along the way. This was all due to the damage caused by the Herrscher of the Void last time. Herrscher are synonymous with destruction. This time, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy suffered heavy losses. The battlefield was Schicksal Headquarters, so the damage caused there is not much to say. As for the mechs brought by Anti-Entropy, they were all destroyed by the Herrscher with a snap of her fingers. They must be feeling the pain too. So, in front of the Herrscher, there are no winners.

"Gray Serpent?"

Rita noticed the name; it was an unpleasant name, sounding cold and sinister, like a snake lurking in the shadows.

"Yes, he was the one who first spread the information about Shen Gonglin and the Herrscher of the Void. Now, according to our investigation, he... may also be her. He is currently in Sky City, and Shen Gonglin and the Herrscher of the Void may also be heading to Sky City. So we must obtain first-hand information. Rita, it's time for you to make your move."

Durandal brought Rita to the command room and gave her this order. Since it concerned the whereabouts of Shen Gonglin, Rita naturally did not refuse, and the maid bowed slightly.

"Yes, Rita, as you command."

It still doesn't work. We still can't capture Himeko's coordinates in the Imaginary Space. If we can't find her coordinates, we can't bring her back. She should be... alright, right? She's been in the Imaginary Space for so long, she... she's alright, she must be alright.

The golden light in her eyes slowly faded, and when she opened them again, Shen Gonglin's eyes had returned to a deep purple. She mobilized the power of the Herrscher of the Void Shen Gonglin search the Imaginary Space, but this time it was still to no avail. Rin felt uneasy, but there was no better way at the moment. All she could do was trust her.

With a soft sigh, Shen Gonglin turned to look at the sleeping Kiana. Because there was only one sleeping bag, he and Kiana had been sleeping together for some time. Shen Gonglin had also noticed that Kiana could only sleep peacefully when she was with him, so he let her be. He knew that Kiana must not have an easy time usually, as the Herrscher personality was constantly eroding her will. It was truly admirable that she had managed to hold on until now.

Shen Gonglin reached out to touch Kiana's cheek, but at that moment, a faint white light flickered around Kiana. Upon seeing this, Shen Gonglin immediately withdrew her hand, climbed out of her sleeping bag, and put on a stern face.

Damn it, it's happening again. I can't take advantage of Kiana anymore.

Who could resist having such a beautiful girl with a great figure sleeping next to them? I'm sure Shen Gonglin couldn't resist, so why has he managed to hold on until now?

It's all because of the Class President hidden in Kiana's mind. If it weren't for her, she probably would have gotten Kiana pregnant by now. The Class President would be old enough to be an aunt. But whenever she tries to get close to Kiana, the Class President always comes to interfere. Shen Gonglin strongly suspects that she is doing it on purpose. No, she must be doing it on purpose!

"Class President, you've arrived."

As the light coalesced, a white-haired, crimson-eyed immortal quietly appeared. Shen Gonglin greeted him softly. When he bit the Herrscher's neck, he transmitted not only his own blood, but also the Class President's will, which traveled with a feather into the depths of Kiana's consciousness. Originally, the Class President intended to bind her will to Shen Gonglin's, but due to Shen Gonglin's special constitution, she could not bind to him and could only bind to Kiana. This was for the best, as she could see Kiana's condition at any time and prevent her from being corrupted by the Herrscher's personality.

"Yes, after all, I have to protect Kiana... in every way, as you know."

Those quiet red eyes gazed silently at Shen Gonglin, the Class President's words carrying a hidden meaning. Yes, she had to protect Kiana, not only from the interference of the Herrscher of the Void in her consciousness, but also from other problems. For example, just now, if she hadn't come out, Shen Gonglin probably would have kissed her.

As the Class President, Fu Hua felt it was his responsibility to protect the students in his class. He could say that Shen Gonglin was helping Kiana stabilize her condition by sleeping together, but he couldn't think about anything else that went too far.

If he can't control Kiana, how could he not control Shen Gonglin? This girl is still ignoring his voice, but he can start with Shen Gonglin. As long as he listens to him, that's fine.

"Yes, Class President, you're right. We should protect her properly."

Shen Gonglin nodded vigorously, agreeing with whatever the Class President said. She would protect Kiana however she wanted, but why was she so concerned about her getting close to Kiana? It felt like... she was jealous. Good heavens, the Class President could actually be jealous? That's hard to imagine.

Shen Gonglin's gaze gradually turned strange, and Fu Hua felt a little uneasy under his stare. What did this guy mean by that look? Could it be that he failed to take advantage of Kiana, so he wanted to take advantage of her? It was very possible, after all, this guy was essentially a rebellious disciple, and he was capable of doing anything!

"Class President, come and sit down."

Just then, Shen Gonglin pointed to the person next to her, indicating that Fu Hua should sit down. Fu Hua was immediately startled. Just as expected, Shen Gonglin was such a bad guy, he was too wicked.

"...oh."

Fu Hua responded softly, and then the girl walked over somewhat awkwardly and sat in Shen Gonglin's lap. Now it was Shen Gonglin's turn to be surprised. He meant for Fu Hua to sit next to him, so why did she suddenly sit in his lap?

Chapter Seventeen: That Shot Was Worth It

The moonlight was cool and clear, but Shen Gonglin felt a feverish heat rising within him. He glanced at Kiana, who was sleeping peacefully, and for some reason, he suddenly felt guilty. He couldn't quite figure out where this guilt came from, but he figured it probably came from the Class President.

Why did she sit on my lap? I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick. Should I talk to the Class President later and ask if I can sit on her lap too?

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Sitting in Shen Gonglin's lap, Fu Hua adjusted her position and finally found a comfortable spot. The girl looked up at Shen Gonglin curiously. His expression was very strange. Fu Hua's clear red eyes were puzzled. She reached out and gently touched Shen Gonglin's brow. Could it be because she was too heavy?

But in this state, I shouldn't sink, right?

"I'm wondering how the Motorbike Tribe and the Beast Tribe can coexist peacefully... By the way, Class President, why did you suddenly show up? And what's going on with your current posture?"

He couldn't very well tell Fu Hua the truth—he wanted to sit on her lap—so Shen Gonglin naturally changed the subject. At the same time, he gently pulled Fu Hua closer. He was genuinely curious about her current state. She was warm, he could touch her, but sitting in his lap, she felt weightless, as light as a feather. This feeling was truly novel. If he had to compare, it reminded him of a certain Princess Mononoke, the only difference being that Princess Mononoke was cold, while his Class President was warm—always warm, no need for any special treatment...

Who is Princess Mononoke? Why did this person suddenly pop into my head?

"I am only able to exist in this world now because of the Feather Dust and the feather that was placed on Kiana before. I abandoned my body the moment before Otto shot me... Also, are you unhappy that I came out? Do you feel that I have disturbed you and Kiana? Shen Gonglin, even if you are not at the St. Freya Academy now, you are still a student of St. Freya. I don't need to recite the Valkyrie Code to you, do I?"

Nestled in Shen Gonglin's arms, Fu Hua, though slightly taller than Shen Gonglin, found the position effortless. Beneath her white cheongsam were two snow-white legs. Though she spoke those words, her gently swaying legs revealed her good mood. This feeling, Fu Hua in Kiana's mind, was finally a chance to get close to Shen Gonglin. It felt wonderful.

"I'm a guy, the Valkyrie Code doesn't apply to me. And of course I'm happy you came out. Class President, you don't know how upset I was when I thought you were dead. I almost cried."

Fearing Fu Hua would start lecturing him on the Valkyrie Code again, Shen Gonglin quickly interrupted her. Having someone to keep him company on this long night was certainly nice. Shen Gonglin had been awake for a while and couldn't fall back asleep. This willful guy had originally planned to wake Kiana to keep him company, but now that the Class President was here, there was no need to trouble Kiana. He hadn't spoken to the Class President since leaving Schicksal Headquarters. After all, Fu Hua was the person Shen Gonglin felt closest to in this world. Shen Gonglin had indeed been arguing with her before, but when he saw her being shot dead by that Shen Gonglin, his heart sank. Even now, thinking back on that time filled him with lingering fear.

If the Class President doesn't have this life-saving method, then I can only use the power of the spirit to try to turn back time. But when it comes to turning back time about life, Shen Gonglin isn't sure. What if I accidentally turn back more than ten years and turn the Class President into a baby?

Hmm, this seems like a good idea. A baby won't work, but Class President in her loli form seems like a good option. Maybe I can try it on her sometime.

Shen Gonglin's thoughts started to wander again, and what he didn't know was that even if he went back in time by more than ten years, Fu Hua would probably not change much. A mere ten years or so is nothing to Fu Hua.

"You were already crying then, don't think I didn't notice..."

Fu Hua muttered to herself, "This guy is still putting on an act for me. I saw it myself. Back then Shen Gonglin's purple eyes were already filled with tears. If Durandal and Otto hadn't been there, he probably would have cried. It was at that moment that Fu Hua truly understood how important she was to Shen Gonglin. Although it was wrong of her to say such things, Fu Hua was indeed a little happy at the time."

That bullet was worth it.
